Pick your limes
Look for limes with thin, smooth rinds — they have less bitter pith and more juice. Avoid rough, bumpy limes. You will be that person squeezing every lime at the grocery store. Own it.
- 2
Chop and blend
Cut the limes into small 1-inch chunks, rind and all. Add 2 cups of ice water to a blender, then add the chopped limes. Pulse for no more than 15 seconds total — do not over-blend or the pith will make it bitter.
- 3
Strain
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour the blended mixture through and press firmly with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
- 4
Blend until frothy
Pour the strained liquid back into the blender. Add the sweetened condensed milk (about 10 tablespoons, or a scant 2/3 cup). Blend until the drink is creamy and frothy — this is the best part.
- 5
Serve immediately
Pour over glasses packed with ice and serve right away. This drink must be consumed within 20–30 minutes — the pith gets bitter as it sits. Make it, drink it, done.
